xedit wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XEDIT what i remember was that in the above "typical screen layout" ... was that prefix area was standard EDGAR feature and there was xedit macro that would setup edgar look&feel (although i have some vague recollection using edgar prefix area on the right rather than the left). I found this (posted 20Nov89 from somebody at EARN/CEARN) http://vm.marist.edu/~vmshare/browse?fn=XEDITTXT&ft=MEMO from above: No special XEDIT setting other than my standard EDGAR (prefix on the right so I can use the "next line" key, no scale/tabline nonsense, nulls on, stay on, wrap on, case ignore, in other words, the opposite of most XEDIT default settings :-) ). ... snip ... old post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2003e.html#23 references: Historical Manuals CMS Reference (feb/mar 1984) http://ukcc.uky.edu/ukccinfo/391/cmsref.html from above: XEDIT no longer supports EDGAR simulation mode, and the EDGAR and ECOMMAND commands are no longer available. ... snip ... i.e. drop support for EDGAR macro (ECOMMAND) syntax. from long ago and far away: Date: 06/29/81 21:40:38 To: wheeler Fro: somebody austrailia Re: RED -> XEDIT .. I haven't had too much trouble migrating to XEDIT. My EDGAR stuff was easy. The NED stuff not so easy, but not too hard (being restricted to getting the whole file in-storage can be quite a restriction), but there's not much one can do about the lack of RED's pattern-matching facilities .. that's a REAL pain! Re: PARASITE .. on the weekend I had a chance to try the newest version you sent me during (yet another) VM/SP test time .. I still have the same problems with having to hit ENTER twice to get any action, and with it dozing off in the middle of a lot of line-by-line output. It seems to be not getting (or handling) the interrupts from CP. Didn't someone else report a similar problem? Any thoughts/comments on my input re CJNTEL and PARASITE last time (re-sending after this VMSG)? Regards, ... snip ... ned was one of the editor's mentioned in previous post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011m.html#41 that includes excerpt from edit comparison from old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#email790606 in this post http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006u.html#26 NED was the most compute overhead of all the editors ... but NED also included the ability to edit file larger than would fit in virtual memory (as referenced in above). PARASITE was small CMS terminal emulator application using the VM logical device extensions (used by PVM) It had a companion routine "STORY" that was terminal scripting application (both would run in CMS transient area). old post with PARASITE/STORY references http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001k.html#35 followup post contains STORY for automatically loging into RETAIN and retrieving PUT bucket http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001k.html#36 CJNTEL was an internal network online facility that allowed remote query of name/phone for increasing parts of the corporation (had access to online internal telephone books). some old email http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/lhwemail.html#cjntel VMSG was internal email client. An very early 0.x VMSG source version was picked up by the PROFS group and used for their email client. When the VMSG author contacted PROFS group and offerred them a much more complete 1.0 source, the PROFS group attempted to get him fired (denying that they were using VMSG). The whole thing quieted down after the VMSG authored pointed out that every PROFS note in the world had his initials in a non-displayed field. After that the source was restricted to two of us (besides the VMSG author). misc. past posts mentioning VMSG: http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/99.html#35 why is there an "@" key? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2000c.html#46 Does the word "mainframe" still have a meaning? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001k.html#35 Newbie TOPS-10 7.03 question http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001k.html#39 Newbie TOPS-10 7.03 question http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2001k.html#40 Newbie TOPS-10 7.03 question http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002f.html#14 Mail system scalability (Was: Re: Itanium troubles) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002h.html#58 history of CMS http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002j.html#4 HONE, ****, misc http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2002p.html#34 VSE (Was: Re: Refusal to change was Re: LE and COBOL) http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2004p.html#13 Mainframe Virus ???? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005t.html#43 FULIST http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005t.html#44 FULIST http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2005u.html#4 Fast action games on System/360+? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006n.html#23 sorting was: The System/360 Model 20 Wasn't As Bad As All That http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2006t.html#42 The Future of CPUs: What's After Multi-Core? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007d.html#17 Jim Gray Is Missing http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007f.html#13 Why is switch to DSL so traumatic? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007v.html#54 An old fashioned Christmas http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007v.html#55 An old fashioned Christmas http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2007v.html#63 An old fashioned Christmas http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2008k.html#59 Happy 20th Birthday, AS/400 http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009k.html#0 Timeline: The evolution of online communities http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009q.html#4 Arpanet http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009q.html#64 spool file tag data http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009q.html#66 spool file data http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2009s.html#32 Larrabee delayed: anyone know what's happening? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010.html#1 DEC-10 SOS Editor Intra-Line Editing http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010b.html#44 sysout using machine control instead of ANSI control http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2010d.html#61 LPARs: More or Less? http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011b.html#67 If IBM Hadn't Bet the Company http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011b.html#83 If IBM Hadn't Bet the Company http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011c.html#81 A History of VM Performance http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011c.html#82 A History of VM Performance http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011e.html#57 SNA/VTAM Misinformation http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011f.html#11 History of APL -- Software Preservation Group http://www.garlic.com/~lynn/2011i.html#6 Robert Morris, man who helped develop Unix, dies at 78 -- virtualization experience starting Jan1968, online at home since Mar1970 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
